The First Nonsmoking Nation - WOW

This is a cool (and well-written) article about how
Bhutan is the first country in the world to have effectively banned tobacco.

I think that's pretty cool. But would never work in a country like ours. Just look at how well it works for drugs :)

Do you think cell phones are too small and push-buttony?

Push-buttony? (I don't know... seemed right at the time)

I came across this article through Slashdot.org (a geek news site). Apparently, some geek decided that he wanted a big, honking old-fashioned-looking rotary cell phone! There are lots of pics and descriptions of the construction process there for those who are interested. Get out your propellor hats and give em a spin!
